Table 1. Features of the nucleotide and protein sequences of rhinocerases 2 to 5.

Sequence	Length of cDNA (bp)	Predicted coding region (bp)	Length of mature protein (aa)	Predicted mol. mass (kDa)	Predicted isoelectric point	No. of predicted N-glycosylation sites
Rhinocerase 2	907	3–779	236	26.28	8.1	1
Rhinocerase 3	906	3–779	236	26.27	8.1	2
Rhinocerase 4	1137	3–773	234	25.65	8.7	3
Rhinocerase 5	1179	3–779	236	26.05	8.9	2

The predicted coding regions, molecular masses and isoelectric points were obtained from DNASTAR Lasergene version 7. The potential N-glycosylation sites were predicted by NetNGlyc.
